CNC CMM FOR SALE

We have a Wenzel 5 axis cnc cmm for sale. respond here or email me if interested. we'd probably let it go for a steal just to get rid of it. I can provide specs if there's interest.

thanks!

Re: Please Create a PowerMill Board on Here!!!

I had thought about that too, but i dont know enough about powershape to try to run a forum and scare up interest in that. my guess is autodesk mothballs powershape in the next 5 years...

Macro - Tool Template

In an effort to get more traffic on this board, I'm going to post tips & tricks that I've found over the years as well as macros that I've written. Here are two macros that I use to save out tools from a project and then load them into another project. A couple notes: The project has to be saved...

Please Create a PowerMill Board on Here!!!

The Autodesk PowerMill forum is borderline unusable. I would like to see two PowerMill boards on here after the fashion of the old Delcam forum: One board for general PowerMill questions, one board for PowerMill macros and automation. Please join me in asking the Admin of this site for this by leavi...

PowerMill

Does anyone on here use PowerMill, or know someone who's looking for a PowerMill programmer? We're slow at work so I'm looking for some side-hustle. I can do 3ax and 5ax programming, write macros or create plugins.
Thanks!

Re: Surfacing with 3dscan data as template

Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread or not, and i certainly did not go through it with comb to see if this was mentioned already- PowerShape is a viable option for mesh modelling. you're able to scan directly into it & go from there. it's not super expensive, either. the down side is...

Export Macro Not Outputting Apperances

Below is my work in progress of my exporting macro. It works well but does not output the colors that are on the model. it's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to be able to have those come into PowerMill how they left SW. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Option Explicit ' Connect to SolidWorks &...

Get Selected Assembly Part

Hello fellow users, hopefully this is an easy one for you: I'd like to get the selected part in my assembly via macro. I'm close (i think) to the kitchen, I can smell the food, but I can't find the door. I think I need to use GetSelectedMember(), but I can't close the deal. Would one of you be good ...
